Do you want to trade? I am a Wanjie supplier

In the fabric shops, colorful silk and cotton fabrics are neatly laid out for people to choose from, and ready-made garments are hung on the shelves on both sides as samples.

Yun Yao went in and bought a few sets of ready-made clothes that she liked, and also customized a batch of autumn and winter clothes to wear in the future.

In the jewelry shop, women gathered together, selecting exquisite hairpins and earrings. Yun Yao walked in to take a look. The jewelry was either inlaid with gems or carved with intricate patterns, and it was breathtakingly beautiful.

"Sister Yun, please pick whatever you like and I will give it to you." Su Wanning waved his hand and said generously.

"I have silver, you forgot." Yun Yao winked at her. She had just received a ten thousand tael silver note.

Yun Yao picked up a jade hairpin. The hairpin was as white as mutton-fat jade. The head of the hairpin was carved into a blooming peony with layers of petals and delicate and clear textures. The lines of the hairpin were smooth, giving it an elegant beauty.

I really love this kind of classical beauty.

She chose another hairpin. This one radiated a delicate green hue, made of rare jade. The tip of the hairpin was a lotus leaf, its edges slightly curled, a drop of crystal water still clinging to it.

The veins of the lotus leaf are clearly visible, and it looks lifelike. In the center of the lotus leaf, a pink lotus bud stands upright, shyly about to bloom, giving people a fresh and natural beauty.

The two jade hairpins together cost 280 taels of silver. Money can’t buy what you love, not to mention that the carving skills of these ancient craftsmen are superb, so it’s worth it.

Su Wanning took her to the rouge and powder shop again. She was in a shopping mood and bought a lot of rouge and lip balm. She didn't dare to use powder because the lead content in ancient powders exceeded the standard.

When they were tired of shopping, they went to Zuiyuelou, the most famous restaurant in Beijing. The private room was furnished with exquisite chairs and coffee tables, as well as a soft couch. Through the window, they could see the bustling street downstairs.

"This capital city looks very lively and the people live and work in peace and contentment. It doesn't look like there have been years of wars." Yun Yao looked at the scene outside the window with a smile on her lips.

Mo Han moved his mouth, wanting to say something but then stopped.

"You can talk as you like. Danbao has set up a barrier. No sound can be heard from outside." It has become her habit now. No matter where she is, she asks Danbao to set up a barrier to block out sound and sight.

"The capital is a gathering place for many officials and wealthy businessmen. Compared to other cities, it is naturally prosperous, but this also relies heavily on the blood and sweat of the people. In recent years, there have been constant wars on the border, and most of the people on the border have been displaced and suffering terribly."

Mo Han clenched his fists as he spoke, his eyes becoming colder.

"Corvée labor and taxes are heavy, officials are robbing and exploiting the people in countless instances. Prime Minister Ye has absolute control over everything, allowing officials to exploit the people. The capital is nothing but decay disguised as prosperity."

Yun Yao tapped the desktop lightly with her fingers.

It seems that the Daling Dynasty is really troubled by internal and external troubles. Unfortunately, the young emperor is too young to decisively seize power from the powerful ministers.

"Don't worry, it won't be long before it becomes a mess, and then we'll tear off its outer coat." Yun Yao said softly.

Su Wanning listened to them talking about business without interrupting, but just silently ate the cakes on the table.

After a while, the maid's voice came from outside and said that the food had been delivered.

Yun Yao and Mo Han returned to their usual expressions. The waiter came in and placed all kinds of delicious food on the table.

Braised pork, braised pork elbow, sweet and sour carp, beggar's chicken, braised lion's head, stir-fried seasonal vegetables. There are also eight-treasure soup and crucian carp and tofu soup.

The dishes are bright in color and fragrant, which stimulates people's appetite.

Yun Yao asked Mo Han to sit down and eat with her. She was very curious about how these famous dishes were different from modern ones.

After tasting each dish, she commented that while traditional seasonings were lacking, the flavor, though simple, was free of pesticides and additives, resulting in a purer texture and firmer meat. Furthermore, the chef's exceptional skills ensured the dishes were fragrant, glutinous, and not greasy, with a rich, juicy, and fragrant aroma. The broth was also delicious, a true achievement.

It was indeed the number one restaurant in Beijing. She almost wanted to lure the chef back to the modern era.

When they went back, Yun Yao packed another portion for Danbao to take back, as she couldn't forget her contributor.

That night, Mo Han wanted to take her to see the old lady of the General's Mansion. She didn't want to go at first, thinking about having to explain herself again, which gave her a headache. But, considering the ten thousand taels, she had to go and visit.

When she left, Yun Yao gave the old lady a 100-year-old ginseng from her space, and some girls' toys to give to her granddaughter.

She was still a little surprised to see Xiao Beilin's biological mother. Although she was called an old lady, she was actually only in her forties. Her every move revealed an innate nobility. Although there were traces of time on her face and a hint of sadness between her brows, she was calm and had the wisdom to see through everything in the world.

Thinking that she had lost her husband and eldest son, Yun Yao felt pity in her heart.

After briefly explaining the situation, the old lady listened to her and became less critical and more gentle towards her, as if she had already acknowledged her as her son's benefactor.

"Since you want to open a shop, I have several rooms on Kangtai Street that meet your requirements. You can use them." The old lady took a sip of tea, her face serious but gentle.

"Thank you very much, old lady. I won't talk about paying rent. I will give 10% of the profit from the shop to the general's mansion." Yun Yao responded with a smile.

One percent may sound like a small amount, but considering the large variety of supplies in her space, one percent will not be a small amount if the supermarket continues to operate.

"When it opens, the old lady can go and see what's new."

After Yun Yao returned from the general's mansion, she asked Mo Han to take Danbao directly to the shop the old lady mentioned, and asked Danbao to clean the shop first and take out all the unused things. She would go and see if it needed to be renovated tomorrow.

She also asked Mo Han to find some eloquent people for him, seven men and seven women. She needed to train them urgently and use them as waiters to introduce various items.

The next day, Yun Yao simply made some adjustments to a few rooms, had them painted with white latex paint, installed some bright fluorescent lights, and placed a few pots of green plants in the corners.

As for the electricity used in the supermarket, some of it is solar-powered, while some comes from the selfless contributions of Danbao.

Danbao: I was forced, do you believe it?

Set up a cash register at the door, take out the shelves, move all the goods out of the space, and all that remains is Danbao's job of sorting them.

Danbao flew in front of her, staring at her resentfully with his big round eyes.

"Okay, just work hard, and the supermarket will open soon. The transaction value and energy will be easily obtained, and I guarantee that you will be full of energy." She found that she was really getting better and better at pua.

In order to get energy, Danbao had no choice but to accept his fate and go to work.
